Bruh I really want to just do an entire little series on breaking down not like us, because Can I tell you, y'all this song, has to have the reason why It got so many views. I gotta be I have to be a part of the reason. Like, I'm gonna be honest with you, I just have to be a part of the reason like bruh I have to be like, I know for a fact at least 1000 those millions of views. No, I know at least one or 2000 of those views had to come from me. I know he got millions on it, but I'm just saying I know I had to listen to it buku times. It ain't been out that long. But can I tell you, every time I listen to it, I get a different revelation. Oh, my God, it's sick. This man said, Oh, Kendrick. Kendrick, guys, whatever you don't get in this random little video, vlog or whatever it is I'm doing, just go ahead and click the link in my bio and just check me out if you don't like Apple podcast. Baby, I done finally figured out how to get how to get it on Spotify. So go ahead and click the Spotify app. But baby, if you don't like Apple or Spotify, Heart Radio is soon to come. But if you just don't like everybody like YouTube. So go ahead and click the YouTube link, because, man, listen, I had a young entrepreneur engineer teach me. Man, listen, you better just be putting that stuff on there, because when it show time, oh, I'm ready. He said, I ain't ready yet, but I'm, I'm, I'm ready for it to happen, but I ain't ready to put that song out this year. And I got a principal from this baby. I said, Oh, this is why I gotta start listening to kids. I'm talking about listening to old people and getting at the feet of your grandparents and stuff so you can get some wisdom. But baby kids, if you just ever listen to them, kids not afraid. Kids don't really know that they shouldn't really say something, until you tell them they shouldn't say it. So you kind of got to, like, shape their minds and say you got a parent. Let me say that, and I can I free you parenting. I've heard from some people that I know, who love, who love, who love their babies. They love, I love, they babies, and I feel like they love them more than I love them, because they actually they're babies, but then it's like Jesus loving more than they could ever love her. But can I tell you that some of these parents that I know, they say baby Parenting is hard, AF it's how somebody literally just told me the other day, Parenting is hard, AF, and can I free you? One lady is on the internet sitting there crying and weeping, saying she don't know what to do with her sons, because I didn't really listen to the entire video, because she was like, I don't know she was crying, but I sent it to some people, and, man, somebody hit me back and said, beat. They beep. Whoop, they beep. And take the game. I said, Ooh, I know that's what my black mama would have did, but I didn't expect that coming from you. But hey, this is what I'm telling y'all. Y'all can't be focused on people's appearance. No man, my microbiology teacher, when I tell you the reason she was a strict lady, you do to come in her class, sit down and be prepared, because she was gonna call on you, and if you didn't know the answer, she was looking at you like you was crazy, like, not even that. She was like, like you were crazy when it was just like, how you don't know this, when the expectation is for you to know this, you get what I'm saying. I give you the schedule of what you learn. And before time, why you don't? Why haven't you come in here with an idea you don't have anything you to throw off your tongue. Oh, you knew to come in her classroom. If you weren't prepared, you sit down and shut up. You for sure, don't play around that. No, you knew that with her. And can I tell you she was not a black woman, she was a woman of color. She was an Indian lady. But when I tell you, she reminded me of my black mama, her son knew after school, you come to this institution, to this medical school, and you sit there and do your homework in my office and play no games, no he knew that, but she, y'all didn't see her beating her child. I didn't see her doing anything wrong to her child, but I knew that she was parenting her child because her child knew not to play with her. It was that same lady who told me, baby, you live by Grace every single day. She was the dean of or she basically was the dean of something. And, um, I had some I had some trouble, and she didn't bail me out of it, but what she did say is, baby, guess what? It's gonna make you who you are. And I'm telling you that was she taught me some of the most valuable lessons that a teacher could ever teach a student. And this is why I won't. I'm giving y'all Vacation Bible School teaching virtually, because I'm gonna be honest with y'all. Y'all make it real. Y'all make it kind of hard for educators. No, I'm seeing the people having conversations with educators where they're literally being forced. It's like they want to help your child, but if they want to help your child, it is. Seems like, oh, that's their cousin, or somebody that they hang out with outside of school or or they got they're too friendly. Y'all go and chop it up. It's, oh, they have a relationship or something going wrong. And can I tell you something? It sucks that some people actually engage in relationships with underage children, underage kids, that that sucks. It really sucks. And I'm not gonna sit up here and try and ever persuade or condone anybody for living like that. But can I free you for a minute? Some people do, and I'm not. I'm not gonna say it's right. All I would say is, it's real. But hurt people. Hurt people. But one situation that can be used, for example, with me asking you this question, is bruh, You don't think people deserve like redemption or or or a second chance, to some extent, just because they fell short. Well, really and truly. If you really understood and tried to learn their story, you would understand that they probably was taken advantage of at a young age, and they never healed from it. And I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying it's real, though, hurt people, hurt people. And I think one story that could be used as an example is R Kelly. His name is in the mass media. He's messed up over and over and over again. But can I argue that R Kelly literally was molested and abused by somebody that was close to him when he was a child? And I'm not saying this right? All I'm saying to you is that it's definitely real that what what happens if he never healed? So now what he's taken that he learned as a kid, and now he's inflicted on somebody else, because that's what he had to grow up learning at a young age. I'm just asking a question. I'm not gonna ever sit up here. There are some songs by R Kelly that I'm gonna be honest with you. They were some good songs. You can't sit up here and say, step in the name of love. Was just so tore up, because this man had a fallen and he let the flesh side and the hurt and traumatic side get the best of him. I would never wish that on my worst enemy. I would never want to see my baby girl, anybody else's baby girl, having to go through that experience. Or, let's come here Michael Jackson, or my baby boys. I would never want to do that. This man dead and gone and people still talking about the negative that he did, really and truly, not really. All they talking about is the more the positive that he did. But they talking about him, Michael Jackson. People still getting money off Michael Jackson, and he's in the ground. He's gone in my head to be with the Lord. I don't know that's between him and God. I ain't got no heaven or hell to put him in. But what I can tell you is Michael Jackson seemed he walked. He didn't walk, no, perfect slope, no, maybe he did. Maybe you don't agree with the fact that he bleached his skin and turned himself to be a fairer skin. Or maybe he was doing it to show you that color really don't matter. It's really about what's in somebody's heart. Because really, I want you to understand that, bruh, at the core of it, they don't care. They don't care what white, black, Lucky shame. Go listen to some of his music. Bro. Go listen to it. Michael Jackson preached unity. But all the world gonna sit here and talk about is that he bleached his skin from being a black person to being now a white person, or he's had nose surgery, or or he was molesting kids. That's what y'all gonna talk about. Y'all gonna talk about that he was hurting children, or that this man took his own kid and put it over the balcony to show y'all his kid literally, literally, how you know he didn't have no trauma. How? You know he didn't go through something as a kid? You get what I'm saying. I just feel like people just I get that from my microbiology teacher, because, man, what she told me is that we live by Grace every single day. Fast Forward, Kendrick Lamar on stage with a group full of people from totally different walks of life, and even gang members, bro, I want one stage rooted in unity, the brothers rooted in love. And he performed a song five times. And just because people might be out there and wondering, and you mean to tell me, it's coincidental, it was five, and five is coincidentally God's number of grace. Bruh, come on, Drake, let's be honest. They say Kendrick out here showing you grace. I'm just a messenger. I'm just a messenger. Drake, that's what they saying, baby. I don't know, but I'm real with y'all. Drake been tried to wave the white flag. He been told you listen, you making a whole performance out of this, bro, come on. But I mean, I ain't right. I'm just telling y'all the real facts and what they said in the media, bro, that's all I'm saying. My microbiology teacher said, Baby, you live by Grace every single day. You could go out there and touch your coffee cup, go to the bathroom, wash your hands. Must. They can only put your pinky on the wrong part of the door, get in contact with some kind of staphylococcus. You get what I'm saying, and then or staph a diplocons. It could be something that you just randomly for my people, that's not science majors or medical students or anything like that. It's just basically, when your doctor say staph, you got a staph infection. Staph typically happens on the skin, right? So are some part of your body open wounds, something along that sort you get into some dirty water. You got an open wound or a cut staph, you can get staph, dirty bath tub. You can get staph, staphylococcus, right? There are different versions of aka staphylococcus is aka staph Okay, that's all I'm saying. I'm really not trying to make y'all feel like, oh boy. What word is that? Because really and truly knowledge is only powerful when to share. So I have to sit up here and say staphylococcus or staphylococcus, staphylococcus, but if you never stepped foot, you barely passed biology in middle school. Let's be honest, it was God's grace that got you through biology in high school. I'm not expecting you to notice, because if I'm being real with you, I probably learned that in college or med school. So I'm not trying to crap on you. I'm just being funny, because I do have a lot of medical students and a lot of nurses and things like that to actually listen to me so they know what I'm talking about. So I appeal to different you know, I told y'all I based myself on being inclusive. No, I'm not about to sit here and try and crap on you, because really and truly, this is why, like, I always say, bro, sometimes you're the only Bible that people will ever meet. You're the only Bible that people will ever encounter, and that's the real No, sometimes you might not ever encounter the actual Bible. You might not ever open that good book. But can I tell you something, just seeing somebody be a good person to somebody where they're actually having to like, just seeing somebody being a good person to somebody that that you know, really did them wrong, and they not even publicly saying that, bro, that's a physical proof of turning the other cheek, literally. That's just turn another cheek. And that's what God wants people to do. So it's like, at the core of being a good person, bro, you really trying to live out God's word, like, forget all this perfection stuff. God ain't never teach perfection. And I told y'all I got that revelation from my parents, no, my parents ain never expect us to walk, no perfect slope. They didn't walk, no perfect, slow, but they did parent No. If you walk up and tell somebody something that's really rude, I'ma call you out in front of that to where you can learn that lesson. Be mindful of the things that you say to people, because sometimes those bridges might be bridges. You actually have to turn around and go back over. No, stop all this. I burn bridges. I cut people off. If they go low, I go lower. That's not cute. That is not cute. And it's actually the polar opposite of what God is out here, really trying to get people to understand. And because y'all make these posts on the internet talking about some Oh, they go low, I go to hell. No, come here. Michelle Obama, she said, Baby, when they go low, we go high, meaning that just because somebody else is vibrating. Low on me. You gotta vibrate low. It's okay to block him and prosper. No, for the rest of this year, it's I'm giving you permission. Your mama might talk about your baby, you too hard up, you cuppy block too quick. Your baby daddy might be like, dang, I thought I was gonna get you back this time. It's okay for the rest of 2024, I need you to go ahead and block them and prosper. No, but be okay with somebody. Block you and prosper. Because I tell people now you don't like it, you can't get with that. I love Jesus and I'm maneuvering. I'm trusting God in every step of the way. Guess what? Block me and prosper all 24 bruh, block me and prosper for the rest of your life. Some people might say it a little bit Kevin Gates might say it a little bit harder. No, he get on there and say you could choke and die. So was he go real hard. I ain't saying that, but I'm saying you can't block me and prosper if you feel like I'm holding you back in any form or fashion, if you feel like I'm detrimental to what it is that God calls you on this green earth to do, baby, I need you to block me and prosper. I'm okay with that, because why? I ain't got no problem with blocking you so I could prosper. Best believe it. Best believe it. Put scripture on it. Then somewhere in the Bible, this your homework. Didn't somewhere in the Bible, God said, How can two walk together unless they agree? No, this is probably why they say birds of a feather flock together. Y'all ever heard an old person say that this is probably why. No, he said, How can two walk together unless they agree? Right? No, let's be real. I ain't gotta hate you, but I ain't gotta walk with you either. No, I can love you from a distance, because all he called me to do is love you. So when I say I don't have a heaven or hell to put you in, what I mean by that is, I'm not gonna sit here and judge you and tell you that you right or wrong, because that's your 24 hours. You choosing to do that with not me. You gotta answer to God for that. I believe at some point in your life. You gonna have to, actually, that's in the word that's put scripture on, that's somewhere in Revelation, bro, you, I don't know if I believe you or why. Up in front of God and just stand in front of him and say, he gonna be like so on july 24 at 6:59pm when you was out there wilding up whatever you was doing, and I didn't ask you to do you was being very disobedient. Why you did that? I don't know if it's gonna be like that. I don't know if he gonna be if he gonna like. Show you a video on a big, like Mega screen, and then you gotta just tell him, Lord, I did that. But I don't know why. I don't know. I don't know how we about to have to answer to God for that. But I do believe we go out to answer to God for something, for somebody. Once you know about Jesus somewhere in the Bible and say you don't have an excuse for it. No more. No. So in my brain, I'm not saying this, right? It's just my real, you know, idea of it in my brain, I feel like that's God saying that. I'm not gonna hold you accountable for the stuff before you didn't know me, but baby, when you knew me and you had the choice to follow me, you chose to be a fan. There was a book called by Kyle something. It's Kyle something is called fan or follower. And you see how there are like. I've noticed before I've even put episodes out, that there are moments where I would just try and get like. I would try and make people feel comfortable by saying, Oh, I call them Jesus, but you can call it the universe, really and truly. I was trying to be inclusive, but I realized that, bro, I low key was watering Jesus down. How am I ever gonna say that Jesus is the equivalent of the universe, but he made the universe not Jesus God. How am I ever gonna say that God is the same as the universe when, according to my faith, God made the universe. No, he made the world in seven days, bro, and on the seventh day, he really made it in six days. On the seventh day he rested. This is why it's so important to observe to have a holy day. People pick Sunday because from you know, the Bible bell down south Sundays is really when they observed Christ. That's when y'all have church, right? But church is really when you take it outside of the four walls and you go into the world. Y'all have to come back next week for that one, because I'm getting off topic. But there really is no topic besides you live by Grace every single day, and I got that from my microbiology teacher, and I just showed y'all so many ways that God has literally given you grace just within this short hour, not even an hour, it's been less than an hour, been less than an hour, been less than an hour, but I bet you, you feel better. Because could I tell you something? This is why, like, my mom jokes around, and she'll say, like, bro, we know this girl, and it's like everything she'll get nervous about like, look you like a hypochondriac. And can I be honest with you, I'm not gonna sit up here and tell you that med school at some point didn't try and do the same thing to me. Thing to me, no, but it made me make better decisions. But there's nothing wrong with having a lot of knowledge so that you can use to make better decisions, but there is something wrong with you sitting there and trying to make better decisions out of being fearful no man the Bible. And you tell me if this is true. True, false question. Right now, there are 365 times in the Bible where God tells you not to fear. It says, Do not fear. Do not be dismayed. No, literally, 365 times. Is it safe to say or is it okay to try and argue however you want to describe it, to say, to ask, really, could it be that God wanted you to have one reminder every day to not be afraid of this life that you got To live? How many days are in a year? How many days in a year? 365 days. Okay, for the ones that's a little slow, but worth waiting on. I love y'all too. 365 days in a year, unless it's the LEAP days. 366 is it safe to say that? And this is a true false question. Now, 365 times in the Bible, God says, no, there are 365 times in the Bible where it says, Do not fear. Right on the people that say, Oh well, leap year, you got 366 days right for the ones who think they know it all. Could I ask this question? What if God wanted you to tell yourself on that 366th day, I got a low key a little lisp. Get over it. Moses had a speech impediment, yet still, God called him to lead his people out of bondage. Get over it. So y'all know what I meant. 366 th. Three that. 366 day, what if God wanted you to tell you? Myself, do not be afraid. Keisha, do not be afraid. Shalom, do not be afraid. Bethany, do not be afraid. Bertha, do not be afraid. John tavius, put your name right there. Don't be afraid. Do not be afraid. Do not can I tell y'all my second part, my second favorite part of not like us? Kendrick Lamar, he said, Imma beat yo beep and had the Bible of God watching meaning in my brain. This is what he meant, Okay, y'all ready for it, in my brain, Kendrick Lamar meant, in my head. This is what Kendrick Lamar meant. He's, like, I really want to, like, deck you in your nose, like scar, drag you, he said, but imma beat your beat. And then imma hide the Bible of God watching me like, I still respect my Creator. He said, sometimes you gotta pop out and show em' certified boogie man. I'm the one that up to go with him. I tell y'all this like, bruh, Oh, Jesus, I didn't tell y'all this. Man, Kendrick, telling y'all this, I'm, I'm just a messenger. Y'all, y'all, oh, he said, sometimes you gotta pop out and show him certified boogie man. I'm the one that up to go with him. I'm done. I'm done. Y'all, gonna listen to that boy song? Because literally, right? You get a whole not only do you get a history lesson from Kendrick Lamar in the last verse of that song, but bruh, you get a whole revelation, like from my podcast. If you go listen to myself and a few other you know, Keisha baby daddies and Keisha talking about it, you might get a whole word from our interpretation of Kendrick Lamar. It's not like us. But you gotta go ahead and go, click that link in the bio. If you really trying to, if you trying to figure it out, go click that link in my bio. It's okay. Go do it and then send it to Keisha baby daddy, because he love Jesus. Remember that.
